If you have been using Propecia for only 4 months, you should wait out a period of from 8-12 months before judging if it is effective at stopping the hair loss. Usually, people will see less fall out in the first 4 months. If after 12 months, there is still no cessation of the loss, then a visit with your doctor to talk about other options like Rogaine, Avodart, etc… may be appropriate. There is much new information out there that suggests, as you stated, that Avodart is more effective than Propecia. Avodart is not promoted as a hair loss prevention drug by the drug manufacturer, and the FDA has not ruled on its safety and effectiveness when used for hair loss. Safety is an issue and the FDA guidelines are generally worth following. The half life of Propecia is 4 hours which means that it will essentially be out of your system within a day or two, but Avodart may last for months, so if side effects occur, they will be with you for a long time. Get a good, open-minded doctor and establish rapport with him/her.
